History
The club joined the Essex Olympian League as Mountnessing in 1984.[2] Apart from one season in Division in 1988–89, they remained in Division Two until 2006, when they were promoted back to the top flight.[2] In 2008, they were renamed Mountnessing Boca but reverted to just Mountnessing two years later.[3]
In 2010, Mountnessing made their debut in the FA Vase, and a year later the club was renamed Harold Hill.[2] The 2013–14 season saw the club gain promotion to the Premier division of the Essex Olympian League, as champions of Division One.[4] The club spent two seasons in the Premier Division but were relegated back to Division one.[4] The club then spent only one season in Division One, before leaving the league and moving to Division Two of the Mid-Essex Football League.[4] Their first season in the Mid-Essex League saw them become champions, as well as win two cups.[5]
